"FOMO is generally described as the anxiety or fear people experience when they think they're missing out on something. Most often, FOMO happens around missing social events or interactions with people that could affect their relationships or perceived group membership."
"Participants experienced more FOMO when they thought about missing events that included valued others and promoted social bonding, even when the activity wasn't expected to be enjoyable."
"One of the best ways to cope with FOMO is to remind yourself of what really matters to you. Don't attend every event. Be selective."
FOMO, or fear of missing out, is the anxiety experienced when individuals believe they are missing social events that could impact their relationships. Research indicates that FOMO is heightened when individuals think about missing events involving valued others and social bonding. Coping strategies include being selective about which events to attend, as attending every event is unrealistic and can exacerbate feelings of FOMO. Recognizing personal values and priorities can help mitigate these feelings.
